There, she learns things about herself, her family, the general way of the world, and falls in love with the local cotton mill owner. Favorites of the month: North and South, The Things You Kiss GoodbyePlans for February:

Finish Shutter.

Finish Half Bad.

Read both ignite books... Ignite AND Ignite Me.

Perhaps re-read For Darkness Shows the Start and Persuasion for book club.

That's a great start to the year! I didn't do too badly, although I did read a lot of graphic novels, and they're definitely shorter and quicker to read. Another surprise was not listening to as many audiobooks as I normally do in a month but I made up for it by reading fairly steadily.

Wow, what a ride. When an invisible barrier suddenly descends on this small town, how will the people handle things? Let's just say... not very well! Would it be giving away too much if I say... pretty much EVERYONE dies! And all written in...
